Tip of the Day: Your boss filled in an invitation meant for just him and his wife for their whole family of six? Yikes! The solution: Be specific when addressing envelopes. For example, write "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" instead of "The Smith Family" if you only want to invite the parents. Also, create an RSVP line that says "___ of ___ guests" and fill in the second line before mailing them out. If anyone tries to RSVP for more people than you intended, you're going to have to give them a call. Explain that your venue has a strict guest count limit and as much as you would love to have them all there, it isn't possible, and you're sorry they misunderstood the invitation.

Tip of the Day: Build your registry over the course of a week by focusing on one specific area at a time. Start with each room of your home, and then move onto your outdoor and entertaining specs, followed by your honeymoon excursions and any other activities that you can do together as a couple. Think of the registry process as a marathon, not a sprint. You want to curate a collection of items that reflects both you and your soon-to-be spouse, and it's difficult to accomplish that in just one day.

How to Make Your Beach Wedding Unique

A wedding on the beach is such a good idea — it's relaxing and romantic. But other than a sandy aisle and white resin chairs, not a lot of couples know what to do with this space. Things can get tricky with an aisle runner (which we don't recommend), and sometimes beaches won't allow anything thrown, included rose petals or confetti. Finding out the rules and regulations is part of the planning process for one amazing beach wedding.
